Baroque Church and Landscape
Built in 1769, the Baroque church of “The Beheading of St. John” is visible from a distance and serves as a landmark for visitors. The dedication of the local parish church, “The Beheading of St. John,” is also part of the town’s distinctive cultural profile and is considered rare. The date of construction and its Baroque style give the church a clear historical connection.
The landscape of Johannesberg and its districts includes fields, meadows, fruit trees, springs, streams and forests. This variety provides a natural contrast to the striking church building. If you would like to consider the landscape as well as a cultural and historical focus, both are available to factor into your plans.
